2. Prepare Eggplant:

   • Peel the eggplant and cut it into sticks approximately 1/4-inch thick.

3. Season Eggplant:

   • Sprinkle the eggplant sticks with salt and pepper to taste.

4. Coat with Flour:

   • Roll the seasoned eggplant sticks in all-purpose flour until evenly coated.

5. Dip in Egg Mixture:

   • Dip each flour-coated eggplant stick into the prepared egg and milk mixture, ensuring it’s fully coated.

6. Coat with Breadcrumbs:

   • Roll the eggplant sticks in breadcrumbs, covering them thoroughly for that extra crunch.

7. Deep Fry:

   • Heat oil in a deep fryer or large skillet to about 380°F (190°C).

Recipe Notes:

• For a healthier alternative, you can bake the eggplant sticks in the oven instead of deep frying them. Simply arrange them on a baking sheet lined with parchment paper, spray lightly with cooking oil, and bake at 400°F (200°C) for 15-20 minutes, flipping halfway through, until golden and crispy.
• Experiment with different seasonings and spices to customize the flavor of your deep-fried eggplant. Adding garlic powder, paprika, or dried herbs like oregano or thyme can elevate the taste profile.
• Serve with your favorite dipping sauce, such as marinara sauce, aioli, or tzatziki, for an extra burst of flavor.
